Two days of November left – it seems I’m going to make it through this year, too. The blog always seems to shut down at this time of the year, and even now, I don’t really have anything in particular to say. Just writing to say hello, I’m still here, tired but fine. With only a few hours of light a day, it’s never the easiest month, and I feel quite the same I did two years ago. Hibernating is what feels like the most sensible idea right now.

Luckily, there’s always something to make up for the lost sunlight: singing in a choir, people, the first snow that stayed for a few days, mugs of mulled wine, and Moomins, for example. So, after all, things are pretty well here.
